"In general, Oregon State Parks are great. This is another nice one with plenty of tent and RV sites available. Bathrooms and showers on-site."
$15 / night
"Stream running next to the sites. Close to town. It is next to the fairgrounds, but very quit when no events. Good place to spend the night while traveling through"
"Nice area close to the road. Plenty of room for my small trailer. Though it was close to the road it wasn’t very noisy. I camped in site 9 so 1/4 mile away from the road. Only issue last role of TP."
"great location. sites 1-6 are pretty close to the main road, but tidy little sites, a pit toilet. no running water."
$159 / night

$50 / night
"In the spring, I imagine you can fish the creek behind the cabin.
The Wildlife
If you hike a little off trail, there's plenty of wildlife to be seen."
"The area is beautiful but the creek is so very tiny and back behind the cabin. It has a vault toilet that was very clean but we may have been lucky since it is not cleaned between guests."
"There are toilets but no water (there’s a creek so boil or treat the water there), close to the road, and a good basecamp for hiking or horseback riding in the area."
"Good little tucked away site with spring water, fire pits and lots of empty space for my truck. Make sure to stop at the sign, we went about 2-3 extra miles looking before we came back lol"
"It’s a bit of an uphill drive off 15, but it’s a pretty good gravel road. There was a fair amount of litter from what looked like a hunting group when we arrived, but we took it with us."
"Off the beaten path, but we'll worth it! Dropped 20 degrees from the hot valley floor. Around 8 spots, first come, but a few other spots on the way up, for dispersed."
"Nice sites with lots of separation and easy access to a trailhead. Multiple vault toilets available as well as water taps that I don’t think are potable but good enough to rinse dishes."
$25 - $150 / night
"This is an adorable affordable location with cute little cottages. I would highly recommend and we will be going back."
TravelerNice big ponderosa pines, a hiking trail out of the CG and a clean (pit) toilet, though low on TP cuz it’s not regularly service til Labor Day. Had it almost all to ourselves—another van arrived at dusk.
Turn off US 26 (no sign) is between milepost 79 and 80–south onto USFS Road 12, then climbs on pavement about 4 miles, where there’s a sign on right
GuideVery nice and well-kept State Park. Lots of green grass. All sites are back-in with level gravel pads. No hook-ups. uncrowded, only a few sites taken. Great place to stop with very interesting history. Will definitely stay here again.
ScoutStayed here for the weekend, shady secluded sites, friendly staff, and very clean! The lake was great out on our paddle boards (watch out for leeches!) and there was a few fishers who had a pretty successful day. Would recommend!!
ScoutEasy to find right off 395, this is a US forest service campground, no reservations, all first come basis. Large semi secluded sites in pine forest. Interpretive trail next to campground. Clean pit toilets with hand sanitizer. Abundant dry firewood on the ground. Five stars.
ScoutThis is an adorable affordable location with cute little cottages. I would highly recommend and we will be going back.
ScoutI've been visiting small town across the West for the last seven years. This is one of the nicest places I've stayed. It's quiet and clean with lovely grass growing between the camp sites. And the bathrooms and showers are exceptionally clean and nice...they even include cloth hand and bath towels for you to use!
Highly recommended, especially if you are visiting John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
GuideNice area close to the road. Plenty of room for my small trailer. Though it was close to the road it wasn’t very noisy. I camped in site 9 so 1/4 mile away from the road. Only issue last role of TP.
TravelerBeautiful forested campsite with clean flush toilets next to a creek.
ScoutThis is always such a great place to stop when traveling between Idaho and western Oregon. It has lots of shade, lawn, and hedges that offer privacy between the large camp sites. Super clean showers and restrooms, dog friendly, and a nice trail to walk along next to the river. Yes, the sites closer to the road are noisier due to traffic, while the ones closer to the river are the buggiest in the summer, but if you want hook ups, easy access, and an RV dump and don't mind paying for all these amenities, this is the place. We stayed in site 9, which has a super long paved and level driveway giving you lots of peace and quiet.
